    Need Fortunes for Cookies

    Hi BBers,

    I know you creative geniuses can help me! I'm making up some fortune cookies for our (belated) Chinese New Year's themed supper club. Can you help me come up with a dozen fortunes - ideally foodie/CL related?

    Nothing's coming to mind right this minute, but I'll think of something...in the meantime, remember that all fortunes must be read with the words "in bed" at the end... So if your fortune reads "You will be successful in all you undertake" that's really "You will be successful in all you undertake in bed". Well that's the way we always played!

    Out of curiousity, I did a search and came up with some sites on fortunes. Here are some I found, but you can do a search yourself too. Have fun.

    Now that I look at it, it is a thread that I killed some months back!

    Thanks everyone! Now I have way too many to choose from! The food quote threads were particularly helpful, I'd forgotton about those.

    Cool

    I am reminded of one of my favorite old Blondie comic strips. Dagwood takes the family out for Chinese food, then opens his cookie. The fortune reads, "Beware of the Chicken Chow Yuk."

    RunnerKim -

    Will you post the recipe when you get time? I think this would be really fun to do!

    DH and I used to meet at a Chinese restaurant for lunch all the time. One day, after a big debate we'd been having, we get the cookies. He opens his up, and tells me, my fortune says - -"He who sits across the table from you is incredibly wise." Of course I didn't believe him, but it truly did. We stuck it up on our bulletin board for a while.

    Here's where I got my recipe & directions
    http://hicards.com/pagesc/fcrecipe.html

    However, it didn't work for me. I don't know what I did wrong but there was no way I was folding/shaping the cookies after they came out of the oven. They completely cracked. I tried baking them less. I also had started by rolling them out in flour and figured that they became too dry. I used a hamburger press to do it directly on the cookie sheet, but those too were too crisp to fold. My husband suggested using 2 and putting the fortune between them - a fortune sandwich or some thing. Maybe you'll have better luck with it!
